How will you find the valency of chlorine, sulphur and magnesium?
Valency of a particle is the quantity of electrons acquired, lost or shared to finish the octet of electrons in the valence shell.
Valency of chloride: It has electronic design = 2, 8, 7
In this manner, one electron is acquired to finish its octet thus its valency is 1.
Valency of sulfur: Its has electronic design = 2, 8, 6
In this manner, 2 electrons are acquired to finish its octet and henceforth its valency = 2
Valency of magnesium : It has electronic design = 2, 8, 2
Accordingly, it can lose two electrons to achieve octet and thus its valency = 2

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
